FAQs
What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint on?
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, providing a durable and washable finish for most indoor living spaces.
How do I clean marks and spills off the painted surface?
For best results, gently wipe marks and spills with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent as soon as they occur. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners.
How long does it take for the paint to dry between coats?
This paint is quick drying. Typically, you should allow 2-4 hours between coats, but always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise drying times based on environmental conditions.
Do I need to prime the walls before applying this paint?
For new plaster, very porous surfaces, or when painting over a significantly darker or contrasting color, it is recommended to apply a suitable primer or a mist coat (diluted first coat) to ensure optimal adhesion and an even finish.
What is the typical coverage of this paint?
Info needed: Please refer to the specific coverage rate provided on the product label, as it can vary slightly. Generally, it's around 10-12 square meters per litre per coat.
Can I use Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, its durable and washable formula makes it suitable for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where higher moisture and potential for marks are common, though for very high condensation areas, a specific kitchen/bathroom paint might offer enhanced mold resistance.
Will the colour fade over time when cleaned?
No, this paint is specially formulated so that everyday marks and spills can be wiped away without causing the colour to fade or leaving shiny patches, maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is an interior emulsion and is not designed for exterior use. For outdoor projects, please select a paint specifically formulated for exterior surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or not providing even coverage.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during application. Apply thin, even coats and allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Marks are not wiping away cleanly or leave a residue.
Wipe spills and marks as soon as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
Paint is peeling or flaking after application.
This typically indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Old, flaking paint should be scraped off and the surface sanded smooth.
The paint appears darker or lighter than expected once dry.
Paint color can vary slightly based on lighting and existing wall color. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure full drying time, as wet paint can appear different.
